"Metaphone()" is a function whereby a string/word is broken down into a rough approximation of its english phonetic pronunciation. Very similar in concept and purpose to soundex, but much more comprehensive in its approach....

The Text::Metaphone::Amharic module is a reimplementation of the Amharic Metaphone algorithm of the Text::TransMetaphone package. This implementation uses an object oriented interface and will generate keys in Ethiopic script by default (see the styl...

Metaphone was developed by Lawrence Philips as a response to deficiencies in the Soundex algorithm. It is more accurate than Soundex because it uses a larger set of rules for English pronunciation. (Wikipedia, 2007) This module is a thin wrapper arou...

This module implements a "sounds like" algorithm developed by Lawrence Philips which he published in the June, 2000 issue of *C/C++ Users Journal*. Double Metaphone is an improved version of Philips' original Metaphone algorithm. In contrast to the S...

This module is a pure perl implimentation of a "sounds like" algorithm based off of Lawrence Phillips' Double Metaphone method which, was published in the June, 2000 issue of C/C++ Users Journal. The Double Metaphone algorithm produce two encodings f...
